Lifeguard Services

As the pioneer of lifeguarding services throughout the Maltese islands and as an auxiliary to the government, we provide essential back-up to the Department of Health, the Civil Protection Department and the Armed Forces of Malta.

We ensure all our lifeguards hold internationally recognized ILSF Certification in both pool and open water.

In 2012, Malta Red Cross engaged a team of gold medalist lifeguards from the Belgian Red Cross to train our volunteers, with two of our lifeguards receiving further training as Chief Lifeguards and Lifeguard Instructors.

Since then, Malta Red Cross has expanded its team to over 40 qualified lifeguards including:

• Junior lifeguards
• Lifeguards
• Lifeguard supervisors
• Chief lifeguards

All lifeguards are qualified in First Aid, AED, Oxygen Administration, Full Body Immobilization and First Person on Scene

Malta Red Cross Lifeguards operate hroughout the year and are on duty at:

• The National Pool, Tal-Qroqq
• Inspire

During the summer lifeguard season (June 1 - September 30), Malta Red Cross lifeguards can  be found on duty across many of the beaches in Malta together with Ghajn Tuffieha, Popeye Village (Anchor Bay), Villa Rosa, db San Antonio, db SeaBank and Westin Dragonara Resort.

In addition, the Malta Red Cross Water Rescue Team and Community First Response Unit patrol the beaches of the North and the South of Malta to provide further support to the Lifeguard Service.
